This door repair was a real pleasure to do as the customer really appreciated the skill and hard work that went into restoring this door to the state it was in before it got damaged. I hope you enjoy watching it too!
Sorry for my very late reply but it's great to read a comment like this, sorry I didn't see it earlier! I hope your practice work is still going strong 💪👍
Separate from your PDR mastery, I'm endlessly impressed with your ability to both explain your approach and illustrate the solution. Its both highly informative and entertaining. Incredible work and thanks for the time and effort to produce and share. The effort is neither missed nor under appreciated. Kudos
Yeah, I really wanted to see the reaction, and it will make your videos more enticing. You can show a little p.i.p. with the customer’s surprised expression on the front frame, and it will draw many more views, I guarantee it, ...or your money back!
Great job again jake I still look at it and smile everytime I get in the car. amazing now to see how it was done....dent wizardry thanks for uploading it
No problem, I absolutely enjoyed repairing this one, just so happy it came out as well as it did for you, especially on a black paint finish. Thanks again for letting me fix this for you! 👊😉👍
I'm in awe. After being a collision repair tech for 25 years. 2 years ago I got intrigued by a hail storm that hit our area and watching the techs work in my shop. I was told I'l never get it because of my years of conventional body work. It's a slow process but I'm not giving up. I upgrade tools as I go. Love watching your finishing because that's my struggle in the micro highs and lows.
Jake, your work speaks for itself and having watched a couple of US videos, your filming is, by contrast, excellent and the commentary is beautifully understated, clear and informative. Always look forward to your posts!👍🏻
Thanks, I wasn't prepared to film this one, it was a last minute decision, so I didn't get as many angles as I normally would like. The following ones will be even better!
Wow, What a great teacher and mentor ! You cover everything from the beginning to completions with easy to understand show and tell. I hired people in the pass to do this process and was always interested in learning , so I picked up a old toyota tacoma with about 20 dents to follow your excellent instructions on. This guy is the real deal !! Thanks
Thanks Donald, really appreciate you watching and for your kind comments. Maybe you should book a few days 'in person' training with a good local company to do this if you start to enjoy it 👍
I can't put into words how impressed I am. Truly inspiring. Will be attempting to achieve similar results on my cadillac cts, although surely it will be some time before I attain such high level pdr skills such as yourself. Thank you very much.
Thanks Jonathan! Sounds like a great car, yes it does take some time to learn so maybe you should use an old door from a scrap yard first if you want to give it a go before you attempt it on your Cadillac 👍
Thank you for your videos! I was recently hit by a deer, and though my car is worth a fair amount on the private market, insurance was pain and gave a low dealer rate of $2800. This meant the car was considered a total loss. I never want to sell the car, so I took the $2434. After watching your videos I ordered a few kits and tools from Amazon, $177. I’ll try to repair what I can myself, and then possibly have a professional finish it off. But I think it’s worth giving it a go as my payout is below my lowest current repair estimate anyways.
When I worked as a stripper/fitter in a body shop we had a panel beater who was also a "Dinger". (The old name for paintless repairs). I could watch him for hours, so skillfull. Just like you my friend, keep up the good work.
I think the 9 thumbs down are from BMW 😉 😄 . Great work you have very fine skills ! It is relaxing to see before going to sleep , thanks man ! Greets from Belguim (europ)
Watching all your videos I started my own journey in the PDR field, you are a master of the PDR , also it is impressive how you handle the oilcan on the door skin I was a auto body tech before I jump into the PDR experience, love you work and the way you explain the process, thank you for all those amazing videos and info , greetings from 🇲🇽🇲🇽🙋
Thank you Lolo Garza for your kind and positive message! Your experience as a body tech will definitely help you when learning PDR as you will have some understanding of how metal moves. I am so glad my videos have either helped or inspired you to take up PDR and I wish you lots of luck and success on your PDR journey! All the best, Jake 😉
💯 % as always Jake that deeper dent looked like a deal breaker! Good job that brace was next to it! Amazing video and repair 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧 Take care, Martin
Curious, why'd you stop putting out videos? Out of all the guys on YT so far I think you're the best at showing us which tips you're using at which stage of the repair. And would like to see if you've further fine tuned your craft to make your dent repairs easier in some way. Since most people who watch are DIYers, I'd love to see you make a couple more videos using the bare minimum/best value in tools and show us these fixes are possible without spending at least 1k in tools to do our own cars. Thanks and hopefully you keep up the good work.
I have no job and I can't afford the tools. They are very expensive here in Portugal but one day I will be able to get them and I will follow your steps and advises thanks for the lessons God bless you
Great work! I am surprised you used the glue pull on the main damage area rather than push from behind with the great access available. I'm debating using the glue pull or the push from inside on the damage I have on my driver side door. Thanks for the video!

Nice to see you posting another video, Great work Jake. Why did you not upsell and get rid of that nasty dent by the front door handle. Could have been a ding free side then.
Yes well spotted, someone else also spotted that one too, there were also some other dents on the rear wing, so the customer only really had the budget for the door, I'm sure I will take these others in the future 👍

You sir are a true master. I will be doing my first attempt at PDR in the next week. I don't think I will do the best job but its more about the attempt for me. I pay very close attention to your methods. Wish me luck...Great content. Thank you!
Hi Jim, that's great to hear. We all struggled in the beginning starting out in PDR so don't be hard on yourself, this craft can take years to master. If you do it consistently day in day out, you will get better and better. Take any failures as opportunities to improve and learn and you will be a PDR master in no time. I wish you the best of luck! 👍
@@1st_track_dents Thank you for the words of encouragement. The the fact that you took the time out of your busy life shows the true gentleman you are. Thank you so much for the inspiration you have given to me . Do you have the link to making a good light board? I have search your RUclips channel and so far have not found it. Thanks again for all the valuable lessons you have given us all
@@jimskinner2777 Out of respect to the PDR light manufacturers I never did a video on making one, although I still make my own as I just like to make them bespoke to my needs and I have a degree in product design so no point putting that to waste and I quite enjoy making them. It is quite easy to make a basic one, although it would be worth investing in a proper one if you are serious about doing PDR full time 👍
Well spotted! there were also some dents in the rear wing too, so it's always up to the customer how much they want to spend, I have to go back and look at another vehicle in the future for him, so I'm sure these other dents will get done at some point.👍
Thanks Jon, in these crazy times it's been difficult to film and also I've had to cancel some big filming jobs as the weather in October weather was too wet and windy! 🌧🌧🌧
Many comments mention about your incredible skill (totally true). But I'd like to commend the hidden aspects of your craft: time, practice, and patience!
Very true, it's quite therapeutic sometimes doing dents, often I zone out and go into auto mode, and then the next minute the dent has gone! Thanks for watching 👍
Good question! There are many different types of sound deadening pads, the majority of them are made from a bitumen type tar material. If you are careful, you can warm the pad up and cut a section out and then you can warm it up and put it back in place afterwards, or if the dent is tiny, you may get away with just pushing through it. 👍
@@1st_track_dents thank you very much. Been doing dents for almost 15 years and I’ve really enjoyed watching ur videos to get motivated to improve my skill and push the limits on what I can do
I still don't know what makes you choose a cold over hot glue or vice versa, or when you'd push vs pull.. its a real skill. What's one principle you would swear by? Thanks, love your work, Zain
Thanks Zain, good question, I like to use cold glue to pull the bulk of a big dent out first as it brings it out cleanly, cold glue is also unlikely to pull the paint off! Cold glue is also very quick so the hail guys love it on the roof rails which are double skinned. Hot glue is a good all rounder and can give very strong pulls and now with the collision glues it can pull out major dents. For small dents I like to push from behind if possible as it is just sometimes quicker than setting up all the glue gear. 👍
@@1st_track_dents the rain definitely wouldn't have helped! I'm good thanks Jake, hope this new lockdown doesn't affect the business too much keep well mate.
@@Bewareofthedog69 I know, businesses like mine are still trying to recover from the first one, so this is going to be difficult again. I bet you guys are crazy busy supporting the NHS
Thanks Bill, yes it was a long day, but for some reason I really enjoyed this one, everything just fell into place and the metal didn't put up a fight. It must be all the years I worked at BMW, I just know this metal so well. 😉
Thanks Bobby, looks like someone has already attempted the first dent on your video, which always makes it harder to do. I have confidence in you, I'm sure you will smash them out of the park, both will make for an awesome video! 👍👍👍
@@1st_track_dents for me these 2 are more of a practice run.. Neither one of these Dent's would be a paid job. But more of a let's see if I can do it type of scenario. I believe you're not going to get the best experience unless you go out there and do it.
@@DZ32100 I completely agree, when I used to work at BMW the management there was always challenging me with stuff and with every job I completed the challenge next time got even bigger! It taught me a lot, we all need to push ourselves! 💪
Trying to DIY a t-bone dent along the body line...I wish I had an artist like you in our area. Do you have a recommendation for glue pulling and other PDR supplies for those of us who can´t afford a professional job at this time. If you have any ideas to improvise pdr tools on a budget that would be great, I know this is a far cry from the quality work you do, in some countries we don´t have the funds or professionals necessary to get this job done. Thank you for everything.
I love watching your videos, amazing work. I need to get a local PDR person to look at my classic Honda as the paint is a sod to colour match due to the age of it. There is a ripple on the front wing and a crease on the passenger door that needs sorting. I'm thinking PDR is the way forward for fixing it?
Thanks Mick, I would send some photos or videos of the damage to your local PDR Tech and they should be able to advise on whether a repair is possible or not. Hopefully it will be and you can save the hassle of getting it repainted! Good Luck👍
@@1st_track_dents thanks, I'll sort something. The problem is with it being white and the dents/creases are so shallow, they don't show up on a camera. It's only when it catches the light at a certain angle you can see the dents. As values are increasing on these original Type R's, it's worth doing.
Thanks, It took probably between 4 and 5 hours to compete, I actually had it quite close to finished in a couple of hours, but the fine tuning takes up most of all the time 👍
Thanks, this light is homemade, however most PDR technicians I see on RUclips use lights that are made by Elimident or Stuckey although I have never used one myself yet so can't tell you how good they are 👍
I could have probably used a bar inside to push the lower part out, but it would have pout a strain on my body getting into the right position, so glue was easier and on the top section I chose glue pulling as I thought it could pull the dent out slightly cleaner than using the bars. 👍
Greetings friend ... thank you for sharing your knowledge .... you are an expert ... some perfect jobs ... I am from the city of Medellín Colombia ... I have been a pdr technician for 3 years ... thank you ...
This probably took about 4 to 5 hours to do and it was exactly 1/4 of the cost what he was quoted from BMW to have the door replaced and adjacent panels blended 👍
Hi, this is a lamp I knocked up myself from various bits in my garage! Stuckey and Elimident are some of the most used lamps in the industry though, so you could check those guys out 👍
Over the moon? I be high as a crack head if you have work on my car with that kind of damage and save me to get a new door and what 2 to 4 extra panels repainted? Hell I would even leave you a tip as you so good using these pdr tips haha! You are the man! It is always a huge pleasure to see you work mister!
@@1st_track_dents You can even say it is environmental friendly and green! If only I was in the UK I would beg to be your apprentice! Your skills and the way you explain PDR is just clear cut! Keep on doing what you are doing and also stay safe mister!
@@retirocheng7522 Thanks so much, it takes a lot of time putting these together so it's great to get positive feedback! I'm sure you would make an excellent apprentice, all the best and stay safe too 😉👊
Unfortunately I don't cover that far, however you can try Ben at Trident PDR who is in Sheffield which is slightly closer and he has a workshop too as I am only mobile. 👍

Do you have a recommendation for glue pulling and other PDR supplies for those of us who can´t afford a professional job at this time. If you have any ideas to improvise pdr tools on a budget that would be great, I know this is a far cry from the quality work you do, in some countries we don´t have the funds or professionals necessary to get this job done. Thank you for everything.
Really professional repair
Nice work Jake👍
Thank You!
Wow that one was not an easy fix. Great job!
Ist Class content as always Jake.
Great work.

Congrats very nice job

I love watching your videos, amazing work. I need to get a local PDR person to look at my classic Honda as the paint is a sod to colour match due to the age of it. There is a ripple on the front wing and a crease on the passenger door that needs sorting. I'm thinking PDR is the way forward for fixing it?
Thanks Mick, I would send some photos or videos of the damage to your local PDR Tech and they should be able to advise on whether a repair is possible or not. Hopefully it will be and you can save the hassle of getting it repainted! Good Luck👍
@@1st_track_dents thanks, I'll sort something. The problem is with it being white and the dents/creases are so shallow, they don't show up on a camera. It's only when it catches the light at a certain angle you can see the dents. As values are increasing on these original Type R's, it's worth doing.
The best like always :D
Excelente trabalho!

Great repair. How long did it take to complete?
Thanks, It took probably between 4 and 5 hours to compete, I actually had it quite close to finished in a couple of hours, but the fine tuning takes up most of all the time 👍
High you did very nice job I need one of those light do you know where can I buy
Thanks, this light is homemade, however most PDR technicians I see on RUclips use lights that are made by Elimident or Stuckey although I have never used one myself yet so can't tell you how good they are 👍
For a why did you choose to pull instead of push? Would pushing made damage it more?
I could have probably used a bar inside to push the lower part out, but it would have pout a strain on my body getting into the right position, so glue was easier and on the top section I chose glue pulling as I thought it could pull the dent out slightly cleaner than using the bars. 👍
Fantastic work👍
Thank You!
Greetings friend ... thank you for sharing your knowledge .... you are an expert ... some perfect jobs ... I am from the city of Medellín Colombia ... I have been a pdr technician for 3 years ... thank you ...
Thank you, I wish you lots of success in your PDR career! 👍
You should film the reveal to customers. They must be very pleased. How long did this take?
As always, very fine job.
Amazing work yet again, unbelievable
Thanks!
Great work 👍 . Can you tell how long time it takes totally?
Is the cost higher or lower than repainting?
This probably took about 4 to 5 hours to do and it was exactly 1/4 of the cost what he was quoted from BMW to have the door replaced and adjacent panels blended 👍
Bravo! Good job Sir👏👏👏
Thank you! 👍
Amazing work! Bravo! Where are you located?
hi, good videos keep going:) just wanna ask, what glue did you use ?
Hi Jake. Please, can you share the vendor and model of the lamp? Thank you in advance.
Hi, this is a lamp I knocked up myself from various bits in my garage! Stuckey and Elimident are some of the most used lamps in the industry though, so you could check those guys out 👍
Over the moon? I be high as a crack head if you have work on my car with that kind of damage and save me to get a new door and what 2 to 4 extra panels repainted? Hell I would even leave you a tip as you so good using these pdr tips haha! You are the man! It is always a huge pleasure to see you work mister!
Ha Ha! yes definitely saved him a lot of unnecessary bodywork which is always better for the car and was done in a few hours instead of a few days! 😉
@@1st_track_dents You can even say it is environmental friendly and green! If only I was in the UK I would beg to be your apprentice! Your skills and the way you explain PDR is just clear cut! Keep on doing what you are doing and also stay safe mister!
@@retirocheng7522 Thanks so much, it takes a lot of time putting these together so it's great to get positive feedback! I'm sure you would make an excellent apprentice, all the best and stay safe too 😉👊
Respekt! Absolut high end work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Fantastic video, dent repair and channel! Great job
Thanks Jack! really appreciate you stopping by to watch😉 👍
Dude !! Excellent Job !!
Amazing repair
Thanks!
If you cover the Spalding/Lincolnshire area I have a 2015 1 series with a rear quarter dent on the body line that I’d love you to repair 👌
Unfortunately I don't cover that far, however you can try Ben at Trident PDR who is in Sheffield which is slightly closer and he has a workshop too as I am only mobile. 👍
11:42 There’s a dent in the front door too under the handle, why wouldn’t the customer want this doing at the same time? Great video though thanks 😊
Is it possible to repair a corner of hood with PDR?
